“and I also saw something that 38 states could do a Constitutional amendment”

Definitely a bad idea to do that with the politicians we have ‘representing’ us right now.

If I understand correctly, there is an alternative to Congress for doing a constitutional amendment. Two thirds of the states can call a constitutional convention to propose an amendment. Then you have to get the same 3/4 of the states to ratify.

I would love to see this as an end run around our losers in Washington.
